Respiratory physiology
Across
- 3. is the primary factor determining the air flow rate normally.
- 6. represents 2/3 of total lung elastic forces.
- 7. is use O2 to derive energy from food
- 8. Pressure keeps lung stretched
- 10. represents 35% of work of breathing
- 12. is the primary inspiratory muscle
- 14. It occurs in premature babies due to inadequate surfactant synthesis
Down
- 1. increases work of breathing due to decrease elastic recoil
- 2. is a passive process during quiet breathing
- 4. is surface tension lowering agent
- 5. is the change in lung volume per unit change in transpulmonary pressure gradient
- 9. is the primary function of respiratory system
- 11. is one of the mechanisms involved in balancing alveolar ventilation and perfusion
- 13. of the conducting airways is the primary factor determining the resistance to air flow
